Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!

In this week's episode, The Sweats stay in the festive spirit with another Christmas episode as they discuss their favorite holiday traditions and memories from over the years. The guys start things off with a very serious discussion about when they each put up their Christmas tree, with Ryan stating that everyone owes it to Thanksgiving to wait until at least Black Friday to put up their tree. Ryan also says he thinks Santa is selfish for trying to steal Thanksgiving's thunder in the parade each year. Comment below to share your thoughts on this controversial topic. The Sweats then talk about post-holiday depression and the soul-crushing act of putting away holiday decorations. The guys also discuss the appropriate time to start listening to Christmas music, and Chris challenges the guys to remember their favorite presents growing up, which Ryan and Derick both struggle to do. Ryan also reflects on the most embarrassing gift he asked for as a kid, and Derick reveals his affinity for socks. 

The Sweats end the episode with their Off the Clock segment with Derick and Ryan both sharing excitement for their upcoming office holiday parties along with Ryan gushing over the show Gen V, and Chris wanting the gift of a holiday raise from his company. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from The 5 O'Clock Sweats team!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!   In this week's episode, The Sweats don their ugliest Christmas sweaters and get festive as they kick off December with a Christmas movie episode! The guys take turns going around and naming their top movies to watch this time of year, including some heavy hitters such as Elf, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the good one with Jim Carrey, obviously). The Sweats also show some love to some hidden holiday gems such as Jingle All the Way, The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special starring Kevin Bacon, and Silver Linings Playbook, which is a movie that takes place during Christmas, but isn't necessarily a Christmas movie. Still counts, though! To the surprise of nobody, Die Hard is brought up by Chris, which leads to The Sweats trying to finally answer the question of whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Feel free to leave a comment arguing for or against Die Hard's Christmas movie legitimacy!   The Sweats end the episode with their Off the Clock segment, with Derick talking about Santa's big sack, Ryan wanting to see Godzilla Minus One to scratch his Kaiju movie itch, and Chris getting ready for the Modern Warefare III update to Warzone.     Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!

In this week's episode, The Sweats stay in sport mode and discuss their favorite sports teams of all time, spanning across the NBA, MLB, NFL and even Esports! Ryan kicks off the discussion by highlighting the 2022 Philadelphia Eagles, who, despite falling short and breaking all of the guys’ hearts, still made fans proud with their effort, leadership and colorful personality. Chris talks about the 2008 Boston Celtics, who won the championship that season and started the trend of “super teams” assembling in the NBA as they were led by two of the coolest players of all time, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Derick finds a loophole and ventures into the Esports world by naming Cloud9’s 2016 CS:GO squad, led by former esports stars Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek and Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham. Some other teams mentioned in the episode include the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies, the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles and McLaren’s Formula 1 racing team. 

The Sweats end the episode by letting Ryan gush over the 2022-2023 Philadelphia Phillies because he didn’t want the episode to end without him giving those teams a shoutout. Go Sports!!!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats!    In this week's episode, The Sweats stay in the football zone and talk about their beloved Philadelphia Eagles as they recap their 2023 season through the first nine weeks. In short: this team just finds ways to win games, and that’s really all that matters. Despite being thrilled with their 8-1 start, the guys, like any typical Philadelphia fan, still manage to find things to complain about. Some of them being turnovers, questionable play calling, and leaky play in the secondary. The sweats then get into what they think are the team’s biggest strengths and weaknesses, some of their favorite moments so far (beating Dallas, of course) and give their completely un-biased W-L record predictions for the rest of the season.    The Sweats end the episode by coming up with a full-proof plan for each of them to get the sexy, but ridiculously over-priced new throwback varsity Jackets the Eagles are selling.    Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats! 

In this week's episode, The Sweats are back to full strength as they engage in their fantasy football mid-season recap discussion! The Sweats kick things off with a general overview of their leagues and they look at the total number of points scored thus far and where their teams currently sit in the standings. Whose team is performing well and whose team is already in the gutter? The guys then transition into listing some of their top performers so far this season, with Ryan and Chris shouting out Tyreek Hill for being an absolute beast since they both have him as their WR1, and Derick sharing his frustrations with the inconsistency of players like Davante Adams and D.J. Moore. The Sweats then go over some of their biggest busts, with Ryan ranting about Darren Waller's lost season, Chris stating his disappointment with D.K. Metcalf's production, and Derick calling out "anybody who is his starting quarterback" as his most disappointing player, specifically Daniel Jones. The guys wrap up the fantasy football talk by looking at the current waiver wire situation, what players they have picked up due to poor performance or injuries, and Chris gives Ryan some advice on a trade proposal he received from his dad. 

The Sweats close the episode out with a brief Eagles-related discussion (because they couldn't help themselves, obviously) about Jalen Hurts' ambiguous knee injury with Chris saying they'd rather play Jalen in a wheel chair than start Marcus Mariota.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats! 

In this week's episode, Ryan and Derick embark on their first “doubles match” as Chris was feeling a little under the weather at the time of this recording. But, as they say, “the show must go on!" Ryan and Derick don’t waste the opportunity, and elect to discuss something near and dear to their hearts and not so much to Chris'-----anime! Without the judgmental presence of Chris around, Ryan and Derick go full on dweeb mode as they discuss how they discovered anime, their current relationship with anime, some of their favorite shows and characters, and why they adore the medium so much. Some shows that are mentioned throughout the episode include classics like Dragon Ball Z, Cowboy Bebop and Attack on Titan, but also some smaller niche shows like Love is War, KonoSuba, Toradora!, HoriMiya and Your Lie in April. 

The Sweaty Weebs conclude this "doubles match" episode with a roundup of animes they're currently watching, or have finished recently, such as Vinland Saga, Spy x Family and Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead and a transition into the weekly segment "Off the Clock" where Ryan hypes up Halo Infinite Season 5 and Derick provides an update on his progress with Counter-Strike 2. GET BETTER CHRIS WE MISSED YOU!!!!

Let us know in the comment section what your favorite anime is and if you have any recommendations for us! We're always looking for new anime to binge.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats! 

In this week's episode, The Sweats take a swing at their very first "Movie Club/Sweaty Cinema" episode where they pick a movie, watch it, and talk about it! In honor of Halloween being this week, the Sweats have chosen the 1974 classic horror film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Shockingly enough, none of the guys had seen this movie prior to this viewing. Derick leads the episode by walking everyone through the plot, while Ryan (AKA Batman) and Chris provide commentary and help spark discussions over some of their favorite moments. Was the movie better than they expected? Was it scary? What did they think of the infamous "dinner" scene? How much did all the screaming annoy Chris? Why was the entire cast so sweaty??? Watch to find out.

If you have seen The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and want to keep the conversation going, or want to point something out we may have missed, feel free to leave a comment! Also, if you have any movie requests for future "Movie Club/Sweaty Cinema" episodes, write it in the comment section!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats! 

In this week's episode, The Sweats put on their finest onesies (besides Chris) and get into the spooky mood with a Halloween-themed episode! The discussion starts with the guys talking about some of their Halloween traditions over the years such as watching scary movies, shows, giving out candy to trick or treaters (unless you're Derick and his family), going down McKamey Manor rabbit hole (which seems like a masochist's dream) and some dope haunted attractions they've visited over the years. The Sweats also dive into some memorable Halloween costumes over the years such as Ryan's embarrassing Ronald McDonald costume from his childhood, Chris' cheap looking Scream costume and Derick's cool, but uncomfortable Darth Vader costume. The guys end discussion by reminiscing over trick or treating memories, explaining why the pillow case is the best candy-holding receptacle, and naming their favorite and least favorite Halloween candy.

The Sweats close out the episode with their "Off the Clock" segment where they go around and say what they're looking forward to doing after work during the week ahead. Will Derick ever get his Eagles Kelly Green jersey? Stay tuned to find out!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats! 

In this week's episode, The Sweats continue to show their age by embarking on another journey through time as they dive into part two of their "Millennial Nostalgia Saga." This week's topic: Television shows from the 90s/early 2000s! Once again, Derick flexes on the guys with his outstanding 90s-themed fit that includes a denim jacket, aviators and spiked hair. After soaking in the glory that is Derick's fit, the guys pivot to reminiscing over shows they were raised on like Spongebob Squarepants, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, Boy Meets World, Ed Edd n Eddy, Rugrats and more! Who else made their own homemade Stick Stickly as a kid? Just Ryan? Noted. Chris expresses his childhood dream of being a contestant on Legends of the Hidden Temple, Derick tries to ruin some of these shows and scar the guys by mentioning some dark and depressing fan theories, and the guys debate how high the adult characters in Rocket Power were each episode (probably very).

The Sweats close out the episode with their "Off the Clock" segment where they go around and say what they're looking forward to doing after work during the week ahead. Happy belated birthday Derick's mom and GO PHILLIES!!!!

In this week's episode, The Sweats decide to show their age by embarking on a journey through time as they dive into part one of their "Millennial Nostalgia Saga." First up: toys and foods from the 90s/early 2000s! Some toys the guys discuss include, the GOAT, Bop It, Furbies, Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Tech Decks, Tamagotchis (or Tamagucci if you ask Ryan) and plenty more. What did 90s kids even do with half of these toys? Please leave a comment if you know. The Sweats get into foods next, with each of them mentioning some of their favorites which include Cookie Crisp cereal, which is proof that bad cookies are still cookies, Lunchables, Big League Chew, Dunkaroos, Scooby Doo fruit snacks, and more. The guys ask themselves how they survived childhood eating these foods that were packed with loads of sugar and God knows what else. Also, why did cafeterias only offer boxed milk and NOTHING else to drink??? 

The Sweats close out the episode with Ryan and Derick blessing their viewing audiences with pictures of their childhood fits, including baby Derick's vintage multi neon-colored jacket and Ryan's classic jorts.
